Description: |
Stitch a stunning necklace inspired by ornamental
scrollwork! The
scroll element is a decorative motif featuring curves,
circles, and spirals. Dating back to at least the Bronze
Age, this ubiquitous artistic style is common in
architecture, ceramics, mosaics, and filigrees from Greek
and Roman architecture to Chinese pottery. Scroll elements
commonly represent plant forms such as spiraling vines and
are often paired with floral elements.
In this
piece, an intricate floral focal features a sparkly crystal
surrounded by several layers of lacy seed bead netting.
Floral elements repeat throughout the necklace, and are
connected with self-supporting scroll elements stitched with
cubic right-angle weave (CRAW). An integrated custom clasp
completes this beautiful necklace. This class is appropriate
for students who already know CRAW and peyote stitch and who
are ready to take these techniques to the next level.
